Do you consider 7 out of 48 Dems to be a lot? Versus every single republican?

What percentage of Sanders supporters do you imagine voted for Trump?

Do you suppose it's higher than the percentage of Democrats in the Senate who were willing to go on record as hating workers by voting to kill the minimum wage increase?

Because Sanders supporters are still catching shit for the loss Clinton earned, regardless of who they actually voted for in 2016.

If we're expected to vote like the party wants, why aren't legislators?

I suppose it makes little sense to you that I was comparing centrists not getting what they want (Clinton's coronation) to centrists getting exactly what they all want (no increase to the minimum wage.).
